hy all

new kernel with 768 overclock is here for you

if is unstable please specify governor and frequency

happy OC

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
i flashed OC kernel, even flashed rom and gapps, then wipe device

but still cannot go thru, always stuck at bootanimation

i think the bootup freq is very high for my device at 768MHz(stock 600MHz bootup is a safe side before setcpu/nofrills kicks in for our desired OC)

i flashed again the normal kernel and everything is ok so i think the OC kernel must be setup to 600MHz first at bootup
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] moaj:
I also got bootloop with OC kernel :o
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Same here :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Skyler1:
I think 710mhz-729mhz will be nice:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
use oc file from gingercruzt 7.3..with this oc file i can overclock my phone up to 825mhz without bootloops..with oc from doixanh i can only up to 748mhz..doixanh talk that the difference is oc file gingercruzt 7.3 have debbugging..for me it's a big big difference..try pls that oververclock of gingercruzt 7.3..sorry my bad english wheel in the air
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
Currently using 245-710mhz and stop getting bootloop.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jerpelea:
this demonstrates that msm7x27 cant handle oc well so there will be no oc in fxp roms
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] fifo171:
but you can use this module only with stock kernel (not with fxp kernel) :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dmcb123:
Could you not add it in but keep the default value at 600 and let people make it higher if they want?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Godra:
Yea that would be nice :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
FXP team, please still include OC

i think the problem now on the OC kernel is on bootup frequency only, if that remains at 600MHz during bootup, our device can properly bootup without any problem

then we can setup the OC to our device's optimum limit value thru setcpu/nofrills

i believe even a modest OC can help a lot especially on some games
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
how did u oc? i insmodded x8oc on the chance that it could work but couldn't oc my x8, any tips?

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

i agree with quoted post. i like to run oc@710 as my x8 runs smoothest at this speed, pretty please with sugar on top lol:D:D:D:D

no complaints about rom or kernel. wifi works great so thanx guys
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] AntwnhsAnt:
See page 152 last post...FXP has a download link for the kernel with OC added...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] b.pet93:
Okay but there is turbo msm7227 armv6, that's stock frequency is 800 mhz. I don't know how can support it. If it doesen't hail from hardware, maybe a dev can copy the overclock "module" to our x8. That would be nice.

These phones have armv6 turbo mode: Samsung Galaxy Gio, Samsung Galaxy Ace, LG Optimus Net, ZTE Skate, Huawei smart bar S42HW.

I hope I could help.:)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] akaSk8krew:
yes it's true..fxp in this kernel put oc file from doixanh..but if he put the gingercruzt 7.3 file, people can oc up to very much:D correct me if i'm wrong
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
thanx mate, oc@710. running smoothly. booted up 1st time with oc kernel, no bootloop so this could mean that some x8 cpu's can handle default setting and some cant so please keep oc in your kernel FXP. please please please lol been using fxp028 kernel/rom and no issues or bugs that have popped up. using oc kernel as from today so will give bug reports if any found. thanx guys much appreciated for the hard work your putting in to breath new life into our x8s:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
ok guys, for those who tried OC kernel but cannot go past bootanimation(and/or having bootloop) like me before

try this script to setup first bootup frequency at lower level, i used 614400 kHz(614.4MHz)

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 614400 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

alternatively, I attached that script file here, just unzip it first

just put the unzipped file at "/etc/init.d" folder, set permissions to 777(rwxrwxrwx)

then power-down your phone, flash the OC kernel, power-on then you are thru!

then once you're in, you can remove the script file already(or you can just leave it there for safe bootup) then you can just play around with setcpu which OC suits your device

i am playing now also which OC value will give my phone the optimum performance without crash/reboot

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] viper001:
@FXP

Hello. First of all, thank you for all your support to the X8. :D

Re: 768Mhz OC. from what i've seen in the forums, 691 should be the starting point. or alternatively, you could use the "debugging enabled version";) which has been tested to OC higher than OCmod V4.

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

No. If you look at the proc specs, you'll note that there are actually two versions of the MSM7227. the vanilla 27 AND the hotrod 27-1.:D.

the difference is in the GPU scale.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] suppi:
that did the trick. thanks for the workaround!

i used latest kernel from page 152. now i am able to run latest fxp kernel. :)

after startup overclocking via settings menu is working. tested stability border (gaming) is about ~700mHz.

hotspot function (wifi thethering) is great - respect.

Gess what, x8 is now added to official CM!!!

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=hero

Steve Kondik - Google+
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
TY for the info.

That's fantastic!

That would probably persuade many users to use the ROM. I was just surprised not many are using it currently. I said that coz other ROM threads are more active than this thread. This ROM is already good and fast and smooth.

Anyways, hopefully FXP team will continue to include overclocking option.

Go FXP team!

Oh and my Arc will get CM also, effin' sweet. Really can't wait for the official cm release.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] BIG JD:

IS this only for X8i or applies to X8a?

This is indeed great news!
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] decille:
@FXP

i've followed Rycon33's instruction from previous page to able run your OC kernel,

I disabled JIT,set compcache to 26%,VM to 32,clockspeed 245~768 with minmax governor

Then i found this is the best kernel so far,my device now acting very responsive and smooth

So please still include OC in your next release,i think the problem is caused by default clockspeed up to 800 (maybe)

Q : should i enable compcache or not?

I got little RAM with it enabled to 26% but my phone still acting smooth
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
i'll just wait for the fully working FXP,i allready try FXP its very fast and smooth..:D

i just wait for the final version..:D

seems like a great news..but,what does it means sir?means X8 will have a fully working ginger now?sorry for my noob,sir..:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
It won't change much,FXP team is developing CM for our phone officially now,there's built in CM bugreport system,update system,and much much more)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=hero

From this version changelog, I see our X8 listed. What it mean?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] frauhottelmann:
It simply means, that the official CM build bot is now building a new build every night with the newest general CM changes and of course the X8 specific changes as well...

Edit: at least once it's in the build system, which it is not yet...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
let's hope not,i'm dreaming about a fully working since the bootloader is unlocked...:D

and i know this are amazing teams..great works..:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] deani77:
Thànks for the info sir, curious to know since this is the first time SE device listed officially in CM :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rikcon:
FXP work is huge,write all drivers from source is'nt easy at all.

Even without officially inlcuding our device on CM website we'll get fully working GB on our X8.

As i said earlier,changes will be minor....but even minor changer are good,especially i would like to have a notification that new version of ROM,Kernel is out,also flash ROM with ROM manager app,if this functionality will be implemented i won't sell my X8,even if i buy a new phone he'll always have latest kernel and rom inside.

Thank you, FXP team.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Link it!

It should be linked in 1st post. Love my x8 OC-ed :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Chris_Castro:
Great Job!!

+1! Today I flashed Kernel and ROM. Can't believe how happy I am with the end result.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
Guys, one thing I noticed when using OC kernel, my call cannot go through using the 'Viber' application.

Normal call using my voice subscription plan is OK though.

Now, I revert back to the non-OC kernel as Viber app is very useful for me since I call overseas very frequent. The downside is I'll be missing the extra power/smoothness that OC kernel brings to my phone.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
+1,i won't sell my X8 too,even if i have a new phone later..:D

anyway,are you using latest FXP v28 sir?can i have some review?about performance,gaming,2D & 3D score from QA,etc??just wondering..:D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] chewdaniel:
read in SEDev blog that they will be assisting in camera libs? does it include the X8? :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Great job!

On OC kernel need delete DSP from rom - it makes FCs when want to play sound.

Rest is COOL! Super fast :) min-max governor rlz ;]

Antutu bench results in attachments. Can`t dig what bench app is used by others :/
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dzadzev:

... and yeah I guess X8 is also included

[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
I changed all 'X8' to 'E15i' in build.prop and it still don't work. CMW shows 'Installation aborted (Status 7)'. Can you help me?

X8 with GDX/LinuxDX

EDIT:

In 'system/build.prop' and 'system/bin/build.prop' :<
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Changed what? I not made any change to flash this great kernel + rom.

FPS2D test in attach. stdev>6 is bit to high?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
I have to change all 'X8' to 'E15i' in build.prop, otherwise I can't install FXP ROM via CMW.

Nawet jeśli zmienię wpisy z X8 na E15i, ciągle wyskakuję informacja przy instalacji ROMu w CWM, że nie zgadzają się właśnie te wpisy.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
1. root

2. unlock bootloader

3. flash kernel

4. boot phone and install rom form bultin CWM

5. wipe

6. reboot

done :)

Tak zrobiłem i za 1 razem poszło.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
Tak, tylko, że ja najpierw wgrałem GingerDX i LinuxDX. A teraz mam problem z zainstalwaniem tego ROMu. Jest napisane, ze te linijki się nie zgadzają w build.prop.

CWM shows, that lines:

are wrong? What I have to do?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Did you flash kernel in 1st place?

Najpierw kernel potem rom.

Jak się nie da to ładuj stocka i od nowa.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
Can I use STOCK ROM on LinuxDX? Then flash FXP ROM and kernel? Or I have to use SEUS?

Is there any other solution? I don't wanna go back to stock :p

I was trying first flash kernel, but the same problem.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
No. If you cant properly flash/install new one just get back to stock kernel and rom (flash kernel and use seus for rom) then flash FXP kernel and install FXP rom :)

Looks like DX kernel is not compatible with FXP rom (probably FXP kernel + GDX rom will not work well too).

1. prepare - save ZIP rom on SD

2. flash kernel using FT

3. boot to CWM

4. install ROM
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
OK, I flashed stock kernel, download HStock_2 and restoring now. If this way will not work, I use SEUS. Thanks, anyway! (:

EDIT:

Ehh, it's don't working.

1. Flash stock kernel

2. Restore 2.1

3. Try to install FXP ROM, but the same problem

5. Flash FXP kernel, but cannot enter recovery?

What's the matter?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
Wrong ORDER!

1st KERNEL - using FT form PC

then form kernel recovery

2nd ROM :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] jahlovePL:
Yaa, but I can't enter recovery in FXP ROM? I tapping on the screen, pushing back button and nothing :<
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
With the new kernel you provided I had some bugs:

No vibration

No lockscreen appears after pressing home button

Home button only works for waking up phone, not in menus, games, apps and such.

I hope this can help you with your progress. And I also hope that the reason for these bugs is not my X8.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] dragan985:
It's not bug! I think You need to format sd card, reinstall rom and do full wipe + dalvik cache.

That was solution in my case.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Galon123:
wow,that is fast..!! :D

is that with the OC kernel or normal?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Koulis2000:
Format sdcard, I don't think so, but for the other wipes I'll do them now and I'll post the results.

I've had a couple of reboots while checking my Gmail account on 3g, and also accessing XDA developers application (also while on 3g)...Anyone else having such problems?
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Rycon33:
I noticed on your sig you are at 768MHz OC, that could be the cause.

When I was using the OC kernel, my phone cannot reach above 710MHz without suffering from random reboots when on certain apps.

And some apps doesn't work right for me, like the one I mentioned before, the Viber app cannot go through a call.

That's why I returned back to the non-OC kernel.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] rav3n_pl:
I have only FCs on DSP (OC kernel). I kicked it coz i`m not using it. No other issues, runned Antutu few times in row -no troubles.

Fast as lighting :P 100MB free for apps and 50mb free ram. Boot time under minute :)

I think J is starting a new way to compile wifi driver/wpa_supplicant instead of getting it from SE (like racht did). So 003 will not contain wifi driver.

I have used 002 from this morning and I feel it's really slower than hackdroid 0.12. Wifi in 002 was unable to connect to my adhoc network. Keeping the phone idle doesn't consume much battery as I thought : 5h with 8% battery.

@FXP. Hi.

I don't know if you've seen this or if it would help at all, but here's the CPU Clock Driver Code for the MSM 7xxx Processor. Includes the MSM7227. The gist from what i can understand of the code is that it controls and/or sets OC, Voltage and TURBO. It even has its own initialization for both CDMA or GSM modem phones (X8i or X8a) :D

I think it can be put in as standard since it is a qualcomm driver. :)

Hope it helps.
